Remember Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s Karan Arjun? THIS actor was offered Salman’s role first

Today, we can’t imagine any other actor than Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in Karan Arjun. But did you know that THIS Bollywood superstar was offered Salman’s role first which he rejected?

Salman Khan's role in Karan Arjun was offered to another Bollywood superstar first&nbsp

Arguably one of the cult films from the ‘90s is the Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan starrer Karan Arjun. The dialogue – ‘Mere Karan Arjun aayenge’ influences jokes and memes even today and is etched in the memory of fans. Since then Salman and SRK too have, numerous times, danced to songs from the film, at various TV shows and events. However, it might surprise you to know that for director Rakesh Roshan, Salman Khan wasn’t the first choice to play Karan in the film.

In fact, the filmmaker had set his eyes on Ajay Devgn, according to a report in Bollywoodlife. The report suggests that while Ajay was keen, due to certain differences had decided to not do the film and the role eventually landed with Salman Khan. Can you imagine Ajay Devgn screaming the iconic line ‘Bhaag Arjun bhaag!’ to SRK. Wrap your head around that for s minute.

Not just Salman Khan’s role, Ajay Devgn has another deep connection with Karan Arjun. The film starred Ajay Devgn’s wife Kajol opposite Shah Rukh Khan and who can forget the steamy romantic number between SRK and Kajol titled Jaati Hoon Main.

Meanwhile, Karan Arjun went on to be nominated for 10 Filmfare Awards and won for Best Action and Best Editing. And while we have seen Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan share screen space several times post Karan Arjun, in films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Son of Sardar, we are yet to see SRK and Ajay on the big-screen.
